No two Beatles albums sound alike. They were all about pushing musical boundaries, experimenting with various instruments and recording techniques and constantly reinventing themselves on each album. Greatest band ever.

This was the first stadium concert by any band. It was unreal at the time that the Beatles were so big that they needed a sports stadium to hold all their fans. So hard to describe the impact they had back then.

Finally, I was able to watch the documentary, "Get Back", on Disney. Though it was three parts and over 6 hours(?) I didn't feel a single bit bored. I actually cried a few times from joy and sheer amazement from watching them create much of their last two albums. And for me, there was a deep catharsis of locked away emotions surrounding their breakup. As a child of the times, and experiencing my parents divorce (which was still rare then), the Beatles breaking up was traumatic to me. And I buried that anger away, but it never disappeared entirely, until recently, while watching them. It was such a joy to see John and George. I hope you guys get to watch it soon.

My great grandmother who lived with us when I was a kid had to put up with all or teenage music. Two Bands she actually liked were the Beatles and the Seekers.

I saw the Beatles at Shea a year later, Aug 23 1966. My friend and I swore we just would watch them, no screaming, no crying. The moment they came out of the dugout i looked at my friend and she looked at me. My mouth was open wide, tears streaming down my face, just as she was. Our screams could not be heard because the sound of the crowd was deafening. There they were, where I was. What a thrill.

Oh, thanks for this you two! Absolutely true...every Beatle song is an absolute treasure. Never know what to expect. (My parents remembers a girl across the street, running into our house, hysterical crying and clinging on to Mom for dear life. Mom asked 'Oh, Linda, what happened honey, what's wrong??' When Linda collected herself enough to talk, she screamed 'I'm going to see The Beatles at Shea Stadium!!' Apparently, she felt like she HAD to tell my parents of her incredible fortune!😃 THAT was Beatlemania in a nutshell!

During their final tour in 1966, the Beatles actually played a "doubleheader" in two cities on the same day. Their concert in Cincinnati got rained out, so the performed the following afternoon at Crosley Field, the one-time home of the Reds. That night, they played in St. Louis at Busch Stadium, where the Cardinals played for decades and had only opened a few months before that.

The Beatles are the greatest musical act of all time and the greatest gift given to the world. They have no songs that sound the same as any of their other songs, first to break every barrier of music, revolutionized the way music was recorded, everything in the 60's from clothing to hairstyle was influenced by The Beatles. The Beatles led and everyone else followed and still are to this day. Want proof, Now and Then (the last Beatles song) went #1 in the Uk and #2 in the US, after 50 years of not being together. No other artists can do that.

They were blue collar guys, everybody's band, and never pretended to be anything else.

Eight Days a Week...released as a single in the US in Feb.1965...got to #1 as usual. The footage is from August 15, 1965 when The Beatles played Shea Stadium in NYC. On this night...this was the BIGGEST concert ever held...over 56,000 crazed fans witnessed history..."Beatle mania" at it's peak!!!

Absolutely my favorite pre-Sgt. Pepper's Beatles hit single. Spring of '65, which I will maintain until my dying day was the greatest year for music ever.

They were the first band to play 'stadium' shows and Shea was their first one. They broke ground for every act to follow. Meryl Streep was there and admitted she couldn't hear much because of all the screaming girls around her, but she loved it because she got to see them in person.

The Beatles were so big they had to play in baseball stadiums to meet the demand for tickets, the first to do so. Their final concert (not counting the one-off Rooftop Concert) was in Candlestick Park in 1966, and they devoted the rest of their time as a band focusing on their studio work and albums, until they broke up. The hysteria and excitement the Beatles caused was coined "Beatlemania" and J's right, very few artists in history had fan reactions that intense.

That strategy is hilarious! Going to pass out but then wait for the right moment and then when you get close to them, pop up out of the stretcher! Laughing my ass off, Amber.

The genius of the "when stars align" Beatles, was their ability to cobble together all the great new music sounds, add their own gifted original touch and unintentionally create a new genre of music, modern rock and roll... When Beatlemania exploded across America in 64 I was 12 and the feeling was surreal, everyone knew their music had changed the world and some were in shock and not happy campers. Beatlemania ubiquitousness that permeated the radio, TV, newsstands, magazine racks in every store, school supplies, hairstyles, clothes, conversations had all seemed to have entered a new dimension overnight and then kept going for a decade. A phenomenon never to happen again and to this day they are at the top of every list as most total records sales...

True artists, not just musicians.

A lot of their old stuff sounds just like this - there was a progression to their sound over time. They are also wearing the Nehru jackets that they basically made famous.

Paul was being driven out to Johns for a songwriting session. After an uneventful trip Paul, in a bit of small talk, asked the driver if he had been busy. The driver said to Paul, 'Aye, I've been working 8 days a week'. When Paul arrived John asked him if he had a song to work on. Paul said "No, but I know the title, 'Eight Days A Week'. 3 hours later the song was finished. Needing some last-minute tweaking on the intro/outro which they eventually polished off in the studio. John double tracks his vocals during the verses with Paul joining on the Hold Me/Love Me as well as the songs 2 bridges: (Eight days a week, I love you) This song was slated to be the last Beatles single of 1964, only to be replaced by I Feel Fine.

Back in the day, it was such an exciting time. Every new Beatles song played on the radio was an event.

One of my favorite Beatles tunes of all time. From the early days of the Beatles in 1964. This was their sound back when they first hit the USA. Very Pop oriented Rock and Roll. What most people today don't realize, is that the Beatles was a Package deal, like with very few bands. These guys just meshed together like magic. If one of them had not been in the band and contributed his part, it probably wouldn't have worked as well as it did. Some bands are like that. People today just don't understand how big of a deal they really were. By the time they got here, people were wanting something different, the Girls were crazy about their looks, the hair, the way they dressed, the catchy tunes, the radio and TV promotion. And NOBODY..... had done Concert as big as Shea Stadium. It was bigger than anything that had happened before. Bands didn't sell out huge stadiums and venues like that. It was just the right time and the right Band, and the Young People were ready for it. Even when there were controversies and Adults tried to stop them or make them look bad, it only served as a catalyst to make the kids want them even more. They were unstoppable.

I love early Beatles!

Early Beatles laid the foundation!

Nothing better starting Monday with The Beatles!

"Eight Days a Week" was first issued as a single in the USA in 1965, after debuting in England the previous year. "Helter Skelter" came out on the White Album in 1968. So the differences you hear are partly the result of how they changed over time. Back in the day, we heard that progression as we and the society we lived in also changed over time. I was 13 in '65, 16 in '68. Interesting times to grow up in.

The footage from the Shea Stadium concert was lost for almost 50 years. Ron Howard got that and used it as part of his movie Eight Days A Week, the Beatles Touring Years (I went to The World Premiere in London)

You guys gotta do their "Helter Skelter" song which hard core!!!

@@kevinmcfarlane2752 Yeah, and if that wasn't enough, what a pleasure that thousand watt smile of Amber's. What a lovely couple.✌️💚🍏

Beatlemania was real. I had two older sisters that saw the Beatles in 1964 in an outdoor stadium in New Orleans. They dug up some of the grass on the field where they performed after the concert and brought it home. Crazy and special time!

Among The Beatles I think my favorite early piece was Till There Was You - best version recorded live on TV in 1963. Paul's vocals so spot on pitch, his walking bass great and George's guitar phrases and solo just awesome.

On the premise of their popularity, Jay. At the height of "Beatlemania," John Lennon once said in an interview, "Right now, we're more popular than Jesus." The world lost their minds over that comment, and the Beatles became public enemy #1. Station's were boycotting their music, people burning their albums, etc. It was crazy.

I always have to request "Get Back" every time y'all do a Beatles song! Killer bass line and Paul singing. Also, I love "Lady Madonna" and "Paperback Writer", which was a bit earlier. "The Ballad Of John and Yoko" is one that I don't think I've seen anyone react to and I think you'd like it, as it kind of tells the story of the craziness of that time. And "Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds" is a great little psychadelic trip. It's amazing though, that they morphed through so many different styles and genres in just the few years they were all together.

Some of the most awesome harmonies to be heard anywhere, they were absolutely brilliant!

The title of the song came from a guy who was driving Paul to John's house, answering Paul to a sort of "how's the work doin'" question, saying "... I work hard eight days a week". Paul liked it and told to John so they started to work on the song with that title

Eight Days a Week was one of the first Beatles songs I taught myself when I was learning guitar. I put the song on repeat on my CD player and sounded out the chords as I went along. If either of you are taking guitar lessons, you should learn this one, it's so fun and easy to play and sing, and the both of you could do two-part harmonies.

The Beatles at Shea Stadium - a major event in music history (or just plain history)….There were some shots of Brian Epstein, their manager… He was essential to their success

You will not regret it in listening to the music of The Beatles cause they’re so talented ,especially in music writing , singing & harmonies as well & playing instruments , that’s why their music are timeless!

Released as a stand alone single. It was recorded at the same time as The Beatles For Sale. The story goes that this was the first album they recorded after meeting Dylan. He encouraged them to be more introspective with the lyrics. But more importantly, he was the one to get them to high on Weed! 😂

This video shows you Beatle mania !! All the screaming and fainting girls !!! They said it was so loud they couldn’t hear a thing they were singing!!

One of my top 5 favorite Beatles songs.

So funny a simple taxi ride can lead to such a great song. I can't wait to see the Helter Skelter - That should be fun. "I've got blisters on my fingers!!"

Yes, yes, yes! More Beatles, please! This concert at Shea Stadium was in 1965….the very first stadium concert! They had gotten bigger amps for these new stadium concerts, but they weren’t loud enough! They had to hook them into the PA system…the system where Baseball announcers announce Baseball players! The screaming was so loud….over 60,000 fans! They couldn’t hear themselves play. Ringo said he just watched Paul and John bounce to keep his beat! They couldn’t hear themselves sing! But…they were being recorded…and if you listen to the audio, they are all perfectly on key and performing perfectly. Amazing! This was their second visit to the US. They had been there a year earlier for the first time. By now, they’d had multiple hits every month since that first visit. The fans were NUTS! And the term “Beatlemania” was coined, to describe the pandemonium in every city they visited! For those of us who grew up with them (I was 9 yrs old that year), it was SO EXCITING! By now, all these other British bands were flocking to the U.S., and radio DJ’s started calling it The British Invasion! Every American and British band had to evolve if they wanted to keep their music getting into the charts. Elvis became almost irrelevant while all these new bands were taking over. And The Beatles, by the end of this tour, decided to stop touring so they could evolve toward better music, themselves, to stay on top. And they just led EVERY BAND into a more artistic form of musical art from then on! And the music just kept getting better and better!!
